NeuroFedora SIG
The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to provide neuroscience researchers (and enthusiasts!) a strong, easy to use, ready-made FOSS platform for their work.
The first step towards this objective is to package as many of the tools that neuroscientists use to make them available in Fedora.
- Providing the package set that the neuro-debian project provides is a preliminary goal.
- Add additional packages, in the neurofedora COPR repositories or Flatpaks if required
- Release a Fedora spin
- Publicise the spin (publish a paper outlining the work here again following the neurodebian project paper?)
- Continue to enable neuroscience research, provide community support.
(A self-contained change request proposed by this SIG in the past is detailed here)
Communication and getting help
- Documentation on using the packages available is at docs.fedoraproject.org. Its sources reside in a pagure repository.
- We maintain a repository for housekeeping on Pagure.io here.
- We have our maling list here: neuro-sig. Feel free to ask any questions there.
- We also hang out on irc.freenode.net at #fedora-neuro[?].
- One can also get help on Ask Fedora and use the "Troubleshooting > Software > NeuroFedora" category to mark questions (Current list of questions).
- Updates on NeuroFedora are currently announced here.
Artwork
Terezahl made us some awesome artwork for use in various locations, such as the website, and other posts (and T-shirts?!). These live on their own page here: SIGs/NeuroFedora/Artwork.
Who we are
NeuroFedora was founded by Morgan Hough (mhough) <morgan.hough@gmail.com> and Igor Gnatenko (ignatenkobrain) <i.gnatenko.brain@gmail.com>.
It is currently maintained by members of the neuro-sig.
Join us!
We encourage everyone to join the group. We're more than happy to help new members learn the skills required to participate in the project. Please contact us using the methods outlined above.
Since we use infrastructure provided by the Fedora community, one must have a Fedora account to access it. It can be created here.
There is no formal process for participating. Simply apply to the Neuro-sig FAS group to gain access to the package set. While one is required to already be a package maintainer to join the group, we're happy to help you learn packaging and join the package maintainers group by co-maintain packages with us.
Meetings
We shall have them, and see how it goes.
Software
Please use this form to suggest more software for inclusion in NeuroFedora.
- Already available software can be found on the Neuro-SIG group's page on src.fp.o.
- The pagure issue tracker shows a list of software that is being packaged.
- Packages under review can be seen using the tracker bug: RHBZ #1276941. Please feel free to pick them up for review.
- An older progress kanban board is here
Adding new software
When submitting a new neuro-related package for review, please add "Blocks: fedora-neuro" to your review-request.
When the package is approved. please modify the settings of the package on src.fedoraproject.org and give the neuro-sig group commit rights so that we can help maintain the whole package set.
